Hothead Games is announcing that its Kill Shot franchise has been downloaded more than 65 million times since 2014. The series started with Kill Shot, and the Vancouver, Canada-based company followed that up with Kill Shot Bravo a year ago today.

That’s a pretty large number of downloads for a mobile game, and it shows that first-person shooter games that are so successful on the PC and consoles can also thrive on the touchscreens of mobile devices.
